About Anason

Vibrant Turkish meze bar dining takes over the Barangaroo waterfront promenade with shared plates and harbour breezes. Patrons consistently return for the warm, family-style hospitality and a table spread full of house bread, smoky grilled octopus, creamy atom, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder that falls right off the bone. Group feasts and anniversary dinners flow naturally into shared platters of kunefe, backed by steaming glasses of spiced samovar tea.

  • Harbourfront promenade dining: Outdoor tables right on the Barangaroo promenade pair water views with long meze afternoons.
  • Layered meze share plates: Tables fill with dips, warm bread, grilled octopus, manti, and slow-roasted lamb shoulder meant for sharing.
  • Attentive celebratory care: Warm hospitality guides celebrations with seamless group arrangements and celebratory touches.

  • Artful Turkish Meze & Share Plates

    Anason crafts an elevated Turkish meze experience with expertly balanced share plates, from smoky octopus to rich slow-cooked lamb and fresh bread.

    The octopus was super tender with a smoky flavor and that creamy base just made it even better. The lamb was perfectly cooked, juicy and full of flavor.

    Traditional beverage rituals, from aromatic samovar and spiced apple teas to rich Turkish coffee, complement sweet endings like baklava and kunefe.

    Their samovar tea, apple tea, and Turkish coffee are excellent. The kunafa and baklava are absolutely delicious.

  • Languid Harbourside Dining Setting

    A prime setting for unhurried weekend dining, allowing parties to settle in along the harbour for long afternoon meals and rounds of meze.

    A perfect spot for a languid harbour side Sunday lunch. The babaganoush entree was divine and slow cooked lamb shoulder was perfect.
